Wanted: Pinhead Tool ASAP

I want to change my front wheel but cant seem to findmy pinhead tool. Anyone got one to use for tonight/ one for sale

you mean the key on the left?

if so... they all have different patterns, you have to contact pinhead with the code from your particular set and they will make you a new one.

Oops! :S

gonna have to get the right one from Pinhead. If you didn't register the key code, i have no idea how you would do that.

That Hurts>>>>>>

yeh thats the one ,i have no recall of any keycode !
would any shops have any 'master' keys ?

A master key won't exist for a system like that.

so basically my bike is un-rideable .. great

ok so do you have cones bearing type hub ? if so you can tighten the cones in to loosen the bolt on the outside.

:(

problem indeed!

destructive removal is your only option, if you need it off now this minute.

drill a hole in the key-cover so you can hammer a screwdriver in there to un-thread it anticlockwise. Obviously have to be careful not to slip and drill your forks but, yea, that seems lke the only logical way to go.

otherwise, if you have time, and bought a set of the pinheads, try to establish which key would fit it by talking to Pinhead with the other key key head.

Maybe try and get some pliers to fit in the notches and unscrew the bolt.

totally impossible, if you saw the pinhead you'd know what i mean.

i got carbon forks , i only got one shot at this !

if your not confident, don't do it ! seriously , you'll end up drilling a hole in your forks or worse, your hand.

Your dropouts will not be carbon though, take it to a bike shop if you are unsure though. A good sharpe drill should do you well.

my front wheel is seriously buckled , i dont wanna leave this beast lieing around the garage all day do we now ..

Yeh i think im gonna searrch around tonight for solutions , and if im not too sure head down to the local bike shop see what they can do for me

in all seriousness, what the fuck did you think a pitlock did?!

i thought it'd lower the chances of people taking my front wheel .. but it ended up kicking me up the arse

read the instructions :P

i did , and i looked after that key for many months , we all make mistakes guys ..

tell me about it...

mistake is my middle name.

not literally.
